Acupuncture has been used as a medical therapy for over two thousand years in the orient. Here in the west we have only
begun to research its efficacy and mode of action. Acupuncture, nevertheless, has gained recognition as a standard method
of treatment by the American community at large. We have observed good results from its use and know of very few problems
or complications.
I authorize Melanie J. Myers, a National Board Certified, and State Licensed Acupuncturist, to administer Acupuncture,
which primarily involves the insertion of needles at one or more points on the body,or non-needle methods of acupuncture and

initial treatment and in no manner have I been guaranteed a beneficial result from treatment even though acupuncture is shown
